the game itself is pretty weird, too - it's basically a collection of surreal biological minigames, linked together by a crudely-rendered, mostly purposeless frame. one game has you defending bio-orbs/villi at the base of lungs from constant waves of abstract, human-faced toxicants. objects like toothbrushes, disinterred teeth, and blue clouds float aimlessly around the mouth. almost every interaction with the world necessitates slowly pressing buttons on the bus's interface, mostly to pan the view around at molasses speed. one game lets you control the kid whose body you inhabit by whacking at context-based buttons, but the only thing you can do is make him walk around a park, sneeze, and eat cheezy poofs, with no objective or end.

we totally support full equality! it's just that we won't complain when they start systematically exterminating gay people, that's all.

Uganda wants to create a bill to kill gay people? Wouldn't that just upset the worldwide community? Enough to cause a war? I mean America and UK invaded over the possibility of WMD (a Lie we know) but an actual atrocity against human rights might do it.
Tell me, are they just stupid or is there somthing going on?

why not? just the thought that saddam MIGHT HAVE WMD's was enough (ok, we know they invaded cos america wanted to protect there oil interests) but in this case it's an actual tangable thing that would cuase the people of the nations to get angry and that might get the leaders in a tiff.

EDIT: ok fine, you win, whatever.

ok so not every country is systematically exterminating gay people, but this type of thing is not uncommon. then there's places like Israel which regularly sends in the troops to murder Palestinian children playing football, which instead of being declared war on receives an absolutely massive aid program from the US and Europe. then there's Western Sahara which is brutally being occupied by Morocco and has a very large amount of slaves because the place is practically lawless.

what I'm trying to say is: the US doesn't care. the UK doesn't care. nobody cares. whenever they declare war, they always say they're doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, but that's absolutely not the case. it's always opportunism under the guise of charity.

brb opening Nesticle to make gfx hack
(no joke, Nesticle, made by the Bloodlust Software guys, was my first emulator as a child and most of my exposure to classic nes games was through it. you could make real-time graphics adjustments within the program, which was pretty neat)

The Magic School Bus Explores the Human Body cutscene compilation video.

at about three minutes in, the whole thing changes from 2D animated kids playing around to an endless descent down 90s 3D organic hell blob labyrinth to cheery midi tunes. a flying bus with misaligned food-icon textures plummets down a pulsating tube and splashes into a quivering acid grid, forever.

if the game was just piloting those lonely cutscenes in real-time to that music...
let's take a trip kids, deep into the human body.......

it seems that if, in the future, vidgames become part of the Real Art pantheon in the academic consciousness, someone will try to retroactively apply labels to the various sensibilities and aesthetic movements
catamites/chastain/others who twist and recycle archetypal gaming iconography/subvert typical design laws/bring in surrealism+absurdism+whatnot/heap on overtones of gloom and misery will probably be Esotericists or something
